Gender transition

My boyfriend just found out that his sister is going to turn into his brother... he feels a little stressed about it, but is handling it well. But his family is totally losing their minds.

It is a sensitive issue.... what do you think?

 

I do feel a little concerned for her 5 children under the age of 10. I think they are going to be confused when their mom turns into a second dad.

 

The kids part makes it a rather odd choice.

 

I think the kids are young enough to adapt

but the brother and parents might never

 

Maybe after that many pregancies she was just over being a woman?

 

It is a very long and involved process to change genders. That is even before any surgical treatments. I know that evaluations are done and if they feel that the reasons are not within what they define as valid they will not approve it and then no treatment center will do it.

This must of been a very difficult decision for her to make.

 

It's her decision. If she feels that she would be happier and more fulfilled as a male, then she should go for it, regardless of how the rest of the family feels about it. People have to make themselves happy before they can properly contribute to the happiness of others, and one person's misery and confusion can easily become everyone else's misery and confusion.

 

Idk.. might be like when I fixed my old computer: Hard disk failure is Imminent..

 

Normally I'd think it's a non-issue, but I imagine the 5 kids thing makes it complicated.

 

theoretically the penis is just an enlarged clitoris.. maybe having all them babies stretched out her vagina, now she can stroke it more than she can poke it...

 

It is easy to be judgmental on this issue. I can't imagine what it is like to hate my own body.

 

Actually, it is. Two folds of skin (of what would have been the female counterpart) curled to form a shaft with the sensitive part on the end of the shaft. Nature has a way of forming things by modifying what is already available.

transgender physiology and psychology are most misunderstood by people..

 

I would be cool with anything she wanted to do if it was not for the kids. She decided to go have those kids and be mom, now she's mom.

I have no problem with gay couples adopting, or transgender couples adopting or having children (if they're still able, I suppose) But to play a switcharoo like that on kids that young is plain fucked up, they will NOT have healthy views on genders and sexuality. It sounds very selfish to go shooting babies all over the place and a few years (at most) later, decide that you really don't wanna be a mom. If they where past puberty, it would be different.

Because you have the right does not make it right. I could never have any respect for that person if she/he did/does it.

 

what exactly is a healthy views on genders and sexuality?.. That there are only males and females or that the minds of those people with gender changing characteristics are any different than people who believe that organs defines sexuality>?........


Children of this family may be exposed to something you may feel is unhealthy, but they are also being exposed to fields in the areas of human anatomy, medical, science, and psychological... possible resulting is a better level of understanding of sexuality, and not be so closed minded... This is something they can pass on to their children aswell.

 

She'll have to live for about 2 years as a man before they will do surgery. Some people find that is enough for them without surgery.

As Heat said, it's a long process and they don't just go switching your gender for you on a whim.

I imagine she has hidden these feelings from her family and now coming out is just a complete shock. Take it slow.

 

i wonder why someone would go through five pregnancies knowing that they really want to be a man. seems sort of selfish.

 

so what does the father of these kids say? Is he happy to become, in essence, a gay man overnight?
